Abstract
We report the Gd magnetic form factor in GdAl 2. In order to avoid the strong absorption of neutrons by natural gadolium very short wavelenghts were used. The 4f part of the form factor agrees with the relativistic radial integral 〈 j 0〉 calculated for a free ion, with a moment of only 6.6μ B instead of the 7.0μ B expected. The value of the conduction electron polarization is consistent with values measured in other RAl 2 compounds.
